IN. Republican Clubs in Convention.

The Convention OF kfpuDican eiuUs
h.ld last week In New York proved
success beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tons. Our Geographic columns have al
ready contained statements Of the objects
of the gathering and the plan Of organiza-
uon adopted, to be vigorously carried out
In the entire country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the Canadas to the Mexi-
can border. Thirteen hundred delegates
Representing. three hundred and fifty clubs
all recently called into organized life by
inherent Republican enthusiasm, consti-
tuted an assemblage whose proceedings,
speeches, and resolutions are making a
very positive impression on the public
opinion Of the country. The delegates
returned to their homes fully satisfied
with the work which had been accom-
plIshcd and with the splendid prospects
. OF success in the complete organization OF
the Republicans in all sections OF the
Union. There was brought out IN the
sesslons Of the Convention conclusive
evidence that the Republicans Of the
East. West. and South are to earnestly
cooperate In pushing national campaign
equal In enthusiasm and determination to
that which carried defeat into the Demo
cratic ranks in 1910 and 1860. The bold,
resolute men Of the West are said to
be aroused IA never before on the
great questions upon which the
Presidential contest OF 1888 h to be
fought. The language OF the delegates after
the meeting closed shows how strongly
hopeful they are as to the results which
are to flow from It. We have room only
for the following;
Edward A. Sumner of Minnesota, one
of the active secretaries Of the convention
said:
at is simply impossible to estimate even
approximately the great and far-reaching in
huencc that will flow from this superb assem-
bly,, which may be called one of young men.
II will put new life into every one, and pre-
dict that il will give us the victory next year
Minnesota Repuhlicanism is true blue, and rs
genuine and stalwsrt as that of any sister
State of the Union Give her people little
time to study more carefully the principles
Of the protective tariff, and they will stand
shoulder to shoulder with Republicans every
where on the party National Platform touch
Ing this issue Minnesota will go Republi-
can in ss~sure as fate"

CATION, In commenting on what would be
the effect of the convention In the South
said:
There has been great progress in the DO
ltical education OF the rising generation In
my State. Twenty years Of free schools have
brought up new class of intelligent young
men. Many of these are emancipatcd from
the superstitions Of bourbonism. They are
not satisfied with it's stale and WORKOUT plati-
tudes. They want to have virginia redeemed
from barbarism and infcriori'y, and placed in
fact where nature has placed her in natural
rcsources-in the front ranks of industry and
commerce. They know that their wonderful
mines. forests and water-powers will be
worthless under the policy of Free Trade
So they have become intelligent Protection
lists In large measure They are for the
party that gives education to the people and
encouragement to home industry. SO they
elected TO Congress year ago seven out OF
the ten Representatives. The electoral vote
OF Virginia can always be carried against
frce-trade Bourbon Democracy in a fair
election. and believe from what have seen
In TINS convention That we shall get fa.i
